2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.4L Petrol · DN66 ACJ

The 2016 Vauxhall Astra passed its most recent MOT on 19 July 2025 at 74,782 miles with no defects recorded. That result continues a clean pattern: every supplied test, from 3 November 2021 through 19 July 2025, ended in a pass with no advisories or failure points. The maintenance trend is stable, not worsening, and the absence of repeated suspension, brake, or corrosion notes over five consecutive tests points to consistent upkeep rather than a car being patched up for inspection only. The recorded mileage of 74,782 at roughly ten years old works out to about 7,478 miles per year, which is normal for a petrol or diesel family hatchback of this age. The odometer readings progress sensibly: 38,205 at the November 2021 test, 43,285 in July 2022, 57,115 in July 2023, 67,954 in July 2024, and 74,782 in July 2025. There is no abrupt jump or implausible drop between tests. The heaviest use was 10,839 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, while the most recent year covered only 6,828 miles. Neither figure raises concern. The first listed test appears in November 2021, so the car’s earliest MOT history from its initial statutory test in 2019 is not present in this record. Because no advisory has ever been recorded, there is no recurring fault to track. That does not mean the car needs no inspection; tyres, brake pads, wiper blades, and suspension bushes are normal consumables and can be replaced without leaving any trace on an MOT record. The tests flagged nothing about binding calipers, worn discs, damaged coil springs, or fuel or exhaust system corrosion. For a ten-year-old Vauxhall Astra, a hands-on check of front lower suspension arms, rear axle mounts, sills, and wheel arches is still sensible, since corrosion can develop between annual tests and would not appear on the certificate. The recorded history is genuinely clean, and nothing in the data suggests a hidden structural or mechanical problem.
